Pre-Employment Assessments

Based on the unique patient population and challenges in each job, you are required to pass a health assessment as a condition of employment. Your offer of employment is contingent upon successful completion of pre-employment screenings, including but not limited to background checks, education and employment verifications, licensure verification and health assessment.

Your Offer of Employment is contingent upon successful completion of the following:

1. New Teammate Onboarding in CORE Connect – Access your new teammate onboarding checklist tasks.
2. Health Assessment – Know what to expect at your new teammate health assessment, including the paperwork you may need to bring with you.
   • Note: You may be required to take your teammate badge photograph at that time. 
3. Background Check

You will receive a communication upon successful completion of all pre-employment requirements to confirm your Orientation date.

Temporary Masking Policy in Effect, Thursday, Dec. 7, 2023  

Due to the declaration of the Respiratory Viral Season, we have started our temporary masking policy in alignment with other health care systems to reduce risks of infections in our facilities. If you are currently looking for or being hired into a role that is required to be in a clinical setting, it is strongly encouraged and, in some cases, mandatory to wear a mask for protection of yourself and other patients and teammates. We will continue to monitor respiratory virus cases and will reevaluate these measures when the number of cases shows a sustained decrease.  

Before Your Appointments

• Prior to your Health Assessment, complete the following tasks in CORE Connect:
  • Complete the online I-9 Form 
  • Complete your Health History form
• The in-person Health Assessment may take up to 1.5 hours each to complete
• Be on time to your appointments. Rescheduling of these appointments may delay your Orientation date
• Do not bring children to your appointment. If a child is brought to an appointment, for his/her safety and well-being, your appointment will be rescheduled for a later time, which could delay your Orientation date
• Take time to review the Orientation page, so you are prepared for your day of new teammate orientation.

1. New Teammate Onboarding in CORE Connect

CORE Connect is how new teammates access their pre-hire/onboarding checklist. As a new teammate, use this checklist to complete tasks necessary to begin employment. You will receive CORE Connect log in information via email from your Talent Acquisition partner.
